For the first round, contestants will be asked to submit their original twist on a Harvey Wallbanger using Stolichnaya Vodka, Galliano L'autentico, Hard Rock Energy Drink & Finest Call recipes in writing and then prepare the drink on camera. Then the original Harvey Wallbanger cocktails will be judged on Taste, Originality and Presentation. The top four winners will be announced and compete in the finals.

Only the top four competitors from qualifying will advance to the Bartenders Bash Series Part#2 Mixology Drink Contest Finals. The competitors are encouraged to bring in their own tools for this round but may not use any of their own ingredients not supplied for this round. All four competitors will be competing at the same time on stage during this round over three heats. Each contestant will be asked to prepare an original cocktail based on the mystery ingredients they will be presented with each heat.

When the round starts, all of the competitors will open the basket on their bar top to reveal the mystery ingredients for that heat. Each competitor will have the same mystery ingredients. From that point the competitors will have 10 minutes to each make four of the same cocktail utilizing their mystery ingredients to the best of their ability.

At the end of the 10 minutes, their cocktails will be tasted and judged by the judges with the least favorite cocktail being "86". The competitor that is "86" will take fourth place and be done. This scenario will repeat over three heats to determine a fourth, third, second and first place.
